The impact of acculturative stress on internalizing problems among racially and ethnically minoritized adolescents and young adults in the U.S.: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Due to demographic changes of the U.S. population in the past few decades, more attention has been placed on understanding the sociocultural factors that have an impact on the mental health of racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) groups.

A novel preoperative score to predict severe acute cholecystitis.

Background: In a large multicenter trial, The Parkland Grading Scale (PGS) for acute cholecystitis outperformed other grading scales and has a positive correlation with complications but is limited in its inability to preoperatively predict high-grade cholecystitis. We sought to identify preoperative variables predictive of high-grade cholecystitis (PGS 4 or 5).

Methods: In a six-month period, patients undergoing cholecystectomy at a single institution with prospectively graded PGS were analyzed.

Burnout in Surgical Residents of Underrepresented in Medicine Backgrounds: Key Influencing Factors and Possible Solutions.

Introduction: Alarming rates of burnout in surgical training pose a concern due to its deleterious effects on both patients and providers. Datum remains lacking on rates of burnout in surgical residents based on race and ethnicity. This study aims to document the frequency of burnout in surgical residents of racially underrepresented backgrounds and elucidate contributing factors.

From mild to gangrenous cholecystitis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe 24 hours a day.

Objectives: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) at night remains controversial. Prior studies have not controlled for disease severity. We analyzed outcomes of LC performed day vs.

Revision of the AAST grading scale for acute cholecystitis with comparison to physiologic measures of severity.

Background: Grading systems for acute cholecystitis are essential to compare outcomes, improve quality, and advance research. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading system for acute cholecystitis was only moderately discriminant when predicting multiple outcomes and underperformed the Tokyo guidelines and Parkland grade. We hypothesized that through additional expert consensus, the predictive capacity of the AAST anatomic grading system could be improved.
